Sic 'em Dawgs ... woof!
I'd rather get rid of GaTech. I know they are an in-state rivalry, but it hasn't been much of a rivalry for many, many decades. They truly are little brother that we don't care about.So don't make it an every year thing. Do it every other or every 3, I mean... what's the problem? Schedule 11, you will absolutely have a respected schedule, again, speaking generally.
Again, maybe I am in the minority here, but I don't care nearly as much about OOC games. Good match ups are interesting and fun, but not nearly as impactful on the season. I give UGA credit, your 2028/29 OOC schedule looks daunting, especially if Texas continues to improve and GT gets better. But again... you scheduling Texas for a HnH once every 35 years isn't something I care deeply about. UGA having more access to playing Bama or LSU IS more important in my opinion.
I hope you beat Texas though in 28/29.
I absolutely love the OOC away games. Getting to go to stadiums we've not gone to before is awesome. ND was incredible, Colorado, ASU was fantastic. Can't wait for UT, and I loved going to Clemson in the 80s. That is the fun for me ... going to different campuses, not the same ones every other year or so.
Our scheduling in the late 20s clearly anticipates a 6 or 8 team playoff where having a loss or two won't get you eliminated, but playing a crappy schedule will. If they expand to 8 it's likely that Conf Champs will be in automatically. So even if you lose to Texas/FSU/Clemson, and then one IC game, you can win your conference and get in. Or be an at large team that had a badass schedule.
